“…Studies on the recreational carrying capacity of islands are common in the literature, but most were performed on larger islands, such as tropical islands of the Caribbean (Jackson, 1986), Menorca in the Balearic Islands, Spain (Roig Munar, 2003), Cozumel in Mexico (Segrado et al, 2008), and Lanzarote in the Canary Islands, Spain (Cabildo de Lanzarote, Island Council of Lanzarote, 2013). Some studies of recreational carrying capacities assess specific recreational activities, such as diving in Cocos Island, Costa Rica (Chasqui, 2008) and Roqueta Island in Acapulco, Mexico (Velasco, 2013) or surfing in small Indo-Pacific islands (Bukley, 2002).…”
